BTW, I have the same lawnmower.

Good eye, I've had that one for 3 years and it never seems to take more than 2 pulls to fire right up.

While my neighbor raves about how much fun the GS is in the dirt, I have no plans to go off-road. I'm happy to keep both wheels on the ground and get home safely each trip. I don't want to ever not to be able to ride, and at this point and age in life off roading is taking to big a chance to dump it and get hurt.

I'm hoping for this to be a long distance bike to be able to ride this bike to the Smokies rather than trailering my bike.

Like a Boss! Must be some mighty fine coffee they serve at Starbucks.

I didn't need the looks of disdain I'd get stepping off of a Beemer wearing Joe Rocket and Scorpion gear.

A word of wisdom from someone who owned the same generation R1200... The ABS pump is horrifically expensive and fragile. Get your brake fluid changed annually, and when you do, sacrifice a live goat or chicken to the ABS Gods. And sprinkling some pigs blood on the final drive while doing a chant every few months can't hurt either.
